Personality tests tell you how you prefer to work. Behavioral assessments describe your style. Neither explains why two leaders with identical DISC profiles perform completely differently under pressure.
PELA measures what drives performance: your executive function (the brain’s system for managing focus, emotional regulation, strategic thinking, and execution discipline).
What Makes PELA Different:
Traditional assessments measure personality traits or behavioral preferences. PELA evaluates cognitive capacity (how your brain processes complexity, regulates stress responses, and executes decisions when stakes rise).
Most tools give you a label. PELA gives you a precise leadership assessment with an actionable cognitive roadmap showing exactly which mental capabilities to strengthen and how daily habits compound into measurable performance gains.
Generic 360 reviews describe how others see you. PELA reveals how you actually think, decide, and act under cognitive load. One is perception. The other is neuroscience.
You’ve noticed the pattern. Certain leadership situations feel effortless (your brain processes them instantly, your team executes flawlessly). Others drain you (every decision feels heavy, communication breaks down, nothing ships on time).
That’s not random. Your cognitive wiring creates natural strength zones and predictable blind spots.
PELA maps your executive function patterns into one of four leadership archetypes. Not a personality label. A precise cognitive profile showing where your brain gives you unfair advantage (and where gaps sabotage results you should be getting).
PELA is a neuroscience-based cognitive leadership development tool that measures how your brain’s executive functions drive real-world leadership outcomes. Through research-backed scenarios, PELA identifies cognitive strengths, pinpoints blind spots, and maps results into one of four leadership archetypes.
Takes 15-20 minutes. Delivers insights typical 360 reviews never touch.
Your brain excels at breaking complex vision into executable steps. You see the gap between strategy and reality instantly. Teams follow you because priorities stay clear even when everything shifts.
